Moldova...the Ultimate Location for Remote Staffing

Imagine a high-trust society filled with highly educated people that have roughly the best Internet access in the World. It's called Moldova. You likely haven't heard of it, but if you're aiming to get the best remote staff then you're going to want to get to know it.

About Eric Smith

  • Has helped successfully build and maintain several respected businesses on others behalf
  • Does not use any social media and values anonymity and prefers to be 'the ghost in the machine'
  • Has built a successful name almost entirely on referrals
  • Has some of the best connections to staffing, capital, and tech services available

Tip

Hiring performance-based workers in Moldova can generate results far beyond what you've previously expected.

One of my clients in Tampa has their best business development people located in Moldova and it's helped grow the American employment within the company greatly. I've also replicated this with a similar Silicon Valley client. Give your American company a boost using remote workers from one of the most stable and cost-effective European locations.

This isn't a race-to-the-bottom, but rather a race-to-the-top if done correctly

Management, Legal, Etc

I have a partnership with the premier recruitment firm in Chisinau, Moldova. I can acquire, legally employ, and manage the entire operation from there. You're only obligation is to pay one monthly invoice for the services.

While you will almost definitely get a far higher cost-to-performance from Moldovan workers, understand you won't be sacrificing quality as they speak English better than many Americans and are usually more reliable thanks to Moldova's superior data infrastructure.

Create a New Page

Creating a new page is a simple affair in Grav. Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to your pages folder — user/pages/ — and create a new folder. In this example, we'll use explicit default ordering and call the folder 03.mypage.

  2. Launch your text editor and paste in the following sample content:

    ---
    title: My New Page
    ---
    # My New Page!
    
    This is the body of **my new page** and I can easily use _Markdown_ syntax here.
  3. Save this file in user/pages/03.mypage/ as default.md. That tells Grav to render the page using the default template from Quark 2.

  4. Reload your browser to see your new page appear in the menu.

Note

The page will automatically show up in the menu after the Typography item. If you want a different label, add menu: My Page between the dashes in the front matter — this is the YAML header block, where all per-page options are configured.

What Makes Eric Smith So Valuable to Me?

To be blunt. I don't want a client I can't help. I might be exactly what you need to deploy, staff, and finance a project...or I might have to refer you to someone else. Either way, I'm happy to help. I've seen the harm grifters cause in this World and I'm entirely the opposite in my dealings.

  • PHP 8.3+ baseline, with a modernized core and typed internals throughout.
  • Symfony 7 + Twig 3 dependency stack, bringing the latest framework improvements and long-term support.
  • Quark 2 as the default theme — Blades CSS, Font Awesome 7, auto/light/dark mode with localStorage persistence, locally-hosted Cal Sans + Inter fonts, and a refined Cal.com-inspired design system.
  • Admin 2.0 — a fully API-powered SPA interface that's dramatically faster, more responsive, and decoupled from page renders. Navigation, form saves, and media operations no longer trigger full reloads.
  • Public REST API — the same endpoints that power Admin 2.0 are available to your own tools and integrations.
  • GitHub Markdown Alerts — the legacy markdown-notices plugin has been replaced by github-markdown-alerts, using the familiar > [!NOTE] / [!TIP] / [!IMPORTANT] / [!WARNING] / [!CAUTION] syntax.
  • Refined caching and asset pipeline — cleaner invalidation, faster cold starts, and smarter dependency fingerprinting.
  • Hardened security defaults — tightened CSP headers, modern session handling, and improved input sanitization across core plugins.
  • Better developer ergonomics — stricter type hints, cleaner event signatures, and clearer deprecation paths.

Important

Upgrading from Grav 1.x requires a migration. Follow the step-by-step guide at getgrav.org/migrate-to-2 — it covers pre-flight checks, the migration itself, and what to verify afterward.
